Third Space incorporates flea market, shops, studios

Scheduled for the last weekend of every month, the next “Davis Flea” runs from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sept. 28 and 29. There will be more than 40 vendors, live music and food trucks.

But the bigger news is that its permanent home since June — three warehouse spaces at 946 Olive Drive behind Redrum Burger — has a new name: Third Space. The spaces include the flea market, pop-up shops and an art/music studio.

Third Space is “a new, multipurpose space housing pop-up shops, gigs, art studios, workshops and more,” its website, www.thirdspacedavis.com, states. “Our goal is to create a more accessible marketplace for artists and entrepreneurs, and to connect local and touring talent with audiences and collaborators.”

The “pop-up shops” are designed as startup spaces for new businesses. The first one, Hope Chest Home, opened this month. Hours are 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Wednesdays through Sundays. Noelle Walsh owns the store, which began online, and features her jewelry and antique and vintage décor. For information, visit www.etsy.com/shop/HopeChestHome.

The third component of Third Space is the art and music studio space. For upcoming concerts, art shows and do-it-yourself workshops, visit www.thirdspacedavis.com/art.
